Comments:
I orignially signed up with Officeteam in Boston. They were wonderful there, so I signed up when I moved to Providence as well. Again, my experience was wonderful. They transferred my files down from Boston, I didn't have to retake any tests, it was so easy. After moving to New York, I contacted the office. I was told that I would have to retake all my tests. I went in and I was met by a slick, car-salesman type of guy who seemed real sleazy to me. I wasn't treated like someone who had been a loyal employee for years; I was treated like dirt, and the assignments was offered were lower paying than anything I had ever received in Providence or Boston. I was surprised, because I assumed I would be making more money in New York! I do not recommend Officeteam in New York City. But if you're relocating to Providence or Boston, I would put them on the top of my list!
